Source close White House: "This is an earthquake... it's devastating for the President"

From CNN's Jim Acosta

A source close to the White House says tonight's result is "devastating for the President."

"This is an earthquake," the source said. "It's Virginia but on steroids."

This source put some of the blame on Steve Bannon. "The President has egg on his face," because of Bannon, the source added.

Bannon told Trump if Moore lost, Democrats would feel emboldened to go after the President on sexual harassment issues, this source who is familiar with Bannon's pleas to Trump explained.

"That's why Trump had to do this," the source continued.

"The President invested his political capital and it blew up in his face," the source added

A separate source who advises the White House said "this is bad."

"The RNC and White House political shop must feel uneasy about their futures," this source added.

One of the best 1 hr 20 min commute ever.
Doug Jones was losing by 8 points when I left my office and miraculously was declared winner just as I got home. I expected Moore to win, glad that I was wrong.

Congratulation to Mr. Doug Jones.

The real winner today is McConnel.

AL Secretary of State basically said pretty much zero chance of automatic recount. Moore just being a stubborn idiot. He must be related to Whell, lol.
